This is an adaptation of an image that I saved on my old computer but rather than search for it, I decided to make one from scratch and add some elements like the birds and the yin-yang symbol because I wanted it be livelier. I remember that image vividly because it was one of the best I had seen depicting life and death. I hope you like this. Made for kpoddream's Trees and Teal challenge - thank you for any comment or vote.

-made with Photoshop CS3 and tree, fields, cloud brushes luna regina, bird brushes from obsidiandawn and some photoshop custom shapes. I played a lot with gradients and blending to achieve this.
